I e N E W YOU K \V E13 Iv L Y MIRROR. ’Fill-' lourth volume of the Weekly Mirror, in its L present form, commenced on the 11th April, 1S4(> Tne reduction of the subs;ription price : Iro n Tiiree Dollars r.> Two marks an era in the history of this popular and widely circulated Jour nal—a j nroal which, ihough it hath seen many changes during the twenty years of its existence, li is obtained a high and permanent place in the annals in -rican Literature. It is peculiarly gratifying to the publisher to he able to state that scarcely a .lay now passes that docs not add to it* •siiosc iptiou list, nor a in.il arrive that does not bring some favorable mention of it by contempo rary journals. Th ■ now and attractive feature of the present volume is the publication of an original Novel of great interest, written expressly for the Mirror, entitle I •MARY ECKAR. A SCHOOL FOR YOUNG WIDOWS.” This beautiful story increases in interest as it pro gresses, and no one. whose last.- has not been per verted by high spiced fictions of the French school, can read a single chapter without a desire for tho whole of it. Calculating on the intrinsic excel- I leocc of the work to make its own popularity, ! without the aid of puffing, we have laid aside a few hundred complete s.-ta ol the present volume, 1 containing all th chapters as far as published, . and lor which there it now a daily demand. If .vo could only make up our minds and our : months to blow our own trumpet, we might easily in .Ice noise enough about ‘ The School for Young i Widows’ to create an excitement in Ihe public ! mind, «nd arouse the curious in literary ihat'crs, 1 to a Ion ! call for the anonymous author. But we j much prefer to leave our readers to find out them- 1 selves, what is good, without prompting. To pre- i face, every thing which appears in our columns with a poff, would he quite ai distasteful to our- : selves, as insulting to the judgment of the reader. ■ No man would thank his cook to stand behind his j chair while rating and comment upon each dish ' up >n the table. As‘good wine nerds no bush,’and i good deeds no praise, so good books and good din I ni”. will be sure, to go down without the. aid of ! puffing. Tho story of ' Mary Eckar’ is written by a lady altogether unknown as an authoress, who has. • brown off this soonlaucous production as the | flowers yield their perfume, and the birds sing ; their songs, not for rnonrv or for lame, but, as the . poet sa/3, • from Love's excess’—the. natural infl >- j rescenr.o of a true woman’s heart— • By gentle feelings long subdued, Subdued and cherished long ’ The interest of the story mainly centres in the ; rha acter of tbe heroine, Clara Annrslcv, the j dan htor of a poor English Clergyman, who dies, ! leaving the lovel / orphan alone in the world, with no inheritance but the fatal dower of beauty. !
